5" Steuben Mid-Century Handkerchief Vase
Mid-century Handkerchief vases and bowls gained popularity in the mid-20th century, particularly from the 1950s through the 1970s. These pieces are characterized by their free-form, flowing shapes that mimic the appearance of a draped or folded handkerchief. The style was a departure from more traditional, symmetrical glass designs, embracing organic forms and a sense of movement.
Many glassmakers, including notable companies like Steuben and Fenton, produced handkerchief vases and bowls during this period. These pieces were often made using techniques such as free-blowing and hand-shaping, allowing artisans to create unique and expressive forms. The clear glass allows the form of the piece to be the focus. These bowls were popular as decorative items and centerpieces in homes of the era.
